Liquid Waste Removal in Rockhampton, FAQs
Do I need a waste tracking form for liquid waste?
Usually yes. Most regulated liquid wastes have to move under a tracking or consignment document and go to an EPA-licensed facility. A licensed contractor issues that paperwork and it is your proof of lawful disposal, so keep every copy.
Can liquid waste go down the drain?
No. Discharging trade waste to sewer or stormwater without a trade waste agreement risks significant penalties from the water authority and the EPA, and the fines are far larger than the cost of a tanker.
